BNB Chain has unveiled its 2025 technology roadmap featuring sub-second block times, gasless transactions, and AI integration to enhance security and developer tools.
Faster Transactions
In 2024, BNB Chain introduced Parallel Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on opBNB and Consecutive Block Production (CBP) on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to boost efficiency. These upgrades set the stage for reducing block times from 3 seconds to below 1 second in 2025. Key benefits include near-instant transactions for DeFi, gaming, and payments, higher throughput supporting up to 100 million transactions per day, and improved user experience by minimizing delays in smart contract execution.
Gasless Transactions
BNB Chain is expanding its gasless transaction model in 2025. Megafuel, introduced in 2024, enabled over 25 million stablecoin gasless transactions for 16 million users. In 2025, gasless transactions will extend to all types of transactions. Users will be able to pay gas fees with stablecoins or BEP-20 tokens, making transactions more flexible. Sponsors can cover gas fees for specific transactions, aligning with Ethereum’s EIP-7702 paymaster solutions.
AI Integration
AI has become a core focus for BNB Chain, influencing smart contracts, data security, and decentralized applications (dApps). By 2025, initiatives include AI-Powered Code Copilot—an AI assistant aiding developers in writing and deploying smart contracts efficiently, and DataDAOs—AI-driven decentralized data marketplaces allowing users to monetize private datasets securely.
With these upgrades, BNB Chain aims to redefine blockchain performance in 2025, prioritizing speed, security, AI-powered automation, and gasless transactions for all users.
